Early SLP Intervention for the Ventilated
ICU Patient: Use it or
Lose It!

It is common to delay rehabilitation efforts in the ICU patient, based on the rationale that patients are “too sick.” The literature suggests that this hands-off approach may cause more harm than good and that early intervention can minimize and potentially reverse the impact of myopathy, polyneuropathy, and muscle disuse atrophy.This webinar will address the underlying mechanisms for
neuromotor degredation in the ICU patient, and discuss how this can impact oropharyngeal and laryngeal functions.
